IDF demolishes home of terrorist behind deadly July car-ramming

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

During overnight operations in the East Jerusalem Palestinian town of A-Ram, the IDF says it demolished the home of a terrorist who carried out a deadly car-ramming attack outside a military base in central Israel in July.

On July 14, Mohammed Shahab rammed a car into a bus stop at the Nir Tzvi junction, adjacent to the IDF’s Tzrifin base, fatally wounding Cpt. Ariel Topaz, an intelligence officer, and injuring three other soldiers.

As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly attacks.
